Not the first and not the last

Today I experienced one of several occasions in which I was confronted with being less certain of specific life choices I've made ... I spend an entire meeting with my boss silently screaming, "FUCK YOU, LIFE CHOICES!  FUCK YOU!".  The frustration stems from the fact that this time my choices to a) be a mother and b)  be a professional and c)  be a part-time professional have roadblocked my immediate chances to meet a very specific and very desirable professional goal.  It is what it is and I'm not going to regret it but, for this moment, I am going to have a moment of self-pity and direct my anger at society for even forcing me to choose in the first place.  So, yeah, "Fuck You, Life Choices."
